Monks who are in search of the supreme path of liberation, resembel a lion (in
fearlessness), an elephant (in dignity), a bull (in strength), a deer (in
uprightness), a beast (in freedom from attachment), the wind (in being
companionless), the sun (in brilliance), an ocean (in serenity), the Mandara
Mountain (in firmness) the moon (in coolness), a diamond (in lustre), the
earth (in patience), a serpent (in being houseless) and the sky (in not being
dependent). (337)

A person becomes a monk by his virtues and a pseudo-monk by absence of
virtues; therefore master all the virutes of a monk and be free from all the
vices of a pseudo-monk; conquer your self through the self. He who possesses
equanimity in the face of attachments and hatred is worthy of veneration.
(342)

He is neither interested in this world nor in the next. He is indifferent to
food or fasts. He does not mind whether his limb is smeared with Sandal paste
or cut off with an axe. (349)

佢对今生同来生都唔感兴趣。佢亦都唔关心食物或者斋戒。佢亦都唔介意佢个四肢
係比檀香整龌抑或比斧头切断。

Appasatthehim darehim, savvao pihiyasavo.

Ajjhappajjhanajogehim, pasatthadamasasane. (350)

In this way, a monk prevents the influx of Karmas through inauspicious doors
(i.e., ways) of every king and becomes engrossed in his rigorous self-contorl
and discipline through his spiritual meditaion. (350)

咁样，僧侣就能够摆脱因果报应个束缚，并通过沉思，完全专注于佢地严格个自律
中。

Khuham pivasam dussejjam, siunham araim bhayam.

Ahiyase avvahio, dehe dukkham maha halam. (351)

He must bear without any pang hunger, thirst, uncomfortable ground for sleep,
cold, heat, uneasiness and fear. Morification of body is most fruitful. (351)

佢地必须忍受饥饿、干渴、唔舒服个睡眠场所、寒冷、炎热、唔安同恐惧。禁欲就
係最大个 成果。

Aho niccam tavokammam, savvabuddhehim vanniyam.

Jaya lajjasama vitti, egabhattam ca bhoyanam. (352)

Oh: all learned men have said that in order to observe penance constantly, it
is necessary always to maintain self-restraint and to take food only once a
day. (352)

哦，所有有学识个人都讲过，为着持续个修行，应当唔断咁自律，每天只食一餐。

Kim kahadi vanavaso, kayakaleso vicitta uvavaso.

Ajjhayanamonapahudi, samadarahiyassa samanassa. (353)

What is the use of residing in a lonely place, mortification of body,
different types of fasting, study of scriptures, keeping silence etc., to a
monk who is devoid of equanimity? (353)

对于一个缺乏平静个僧侣来讲，独居、禁欲、禁食、研习典籍、保持沉默又有乜嘢
意义呢？

Buddhe parinivvude care, gama gae nagare va samjae.

Samtimaggam ca buhae, samayam Goyama! ma pamayae. (354)

The enlightened and desisted monk should control himself; whether he be in a
village or a town, and he should preach to all the road of peace; O'Gautama!,
be careful all the while. (354)

一个受到启发嘅、自律个僧侣应当控制自己；无论佢係係乡村仲係係城镇，佢应当
告诫所有通向和平个道路- 哦，Gautama，永远要保持清醒。

Na hu jine ajja dissai, bahumae dissai magadesie.

Sampai neyaue pahe, samayam Goyama! ma pamayae. (355)

In future people will say "No Jinas are seen these days, while those
proclaiming the path of spiritual progress hold divergent views; now being on
the right path, O'Gautama! be careful all the while? (355)

Apparel is no proof of a person's being self-controlled; for, does not a
person without self-control wear the same dress? Does not poison kill a person
who swallows it, even if he changes his dress? (356)

服饰并唔能够讲明一个人个自律，因为冇自律个人们亦都可以同自律个人们穿住相
同个衣服。如果一个人更换着佢个衣服，佢就唔会比毒死着咪？

Paccayattham ca logassa, nanavihavigappanam.

Jattattham gahanattham ca, loge limgapaoyanam. (357)

People wear various kinds of dresses to win the confidence of others. A
distinguishing mark is useful to a person who is self-restrained to show the
people that he is a monk. (357)

人们穿住各式各样个衣服係为着赢得他人个尊重。对于自律个人最有特点个标记就
係- 佢係一个僧侣。

Pasandilimgani va, gihilimgani va bahuppayarani.

Ghittum vadamti mudha, limgaminam mokkhamaggo tti. (358)

Fools put on various types of insignia of false ascetics or householders and
maintain that this outer mark provides the path to liberation. (358)

愚蠢个人为自己戴上各式各样个禁欲个徽章，然后声称，咧地能够为佢提供解脱之
路。

Pulleva mutthi jaha se asare ayantie kudakahavane
va.

Radhamani veruliyappagase, amahagghae hoi ya janaesu. (359)

He, who is devoid of strength like a hollow fist, is untested like a false
coin and a bead of glass shining like a diamond, will have no respect from the
wise who know the truth. (359)

一个冇力量个人就似一个空个拳头，就似一枚伪造个硬币，就似一颗闪着钻石光芒
个玻璃，佢永远唔会跟了解真相个智者个度得到尊重。

Bhavo hi padhamalimgam, na davvalimgam ca jana
paramattham.

Bhavo karanabhudo, gunadosanam jina bimti. (360)

Know that it is the mental state and not the dress that is the first
distinguishing mark of spirituality. Jinas state that it is the mental state
that is the cause of virtues and vices. (360)

精神状态，但係唔係衣着，係对人精神最重要个标记。Jina讲，人个精神状态係美
德同罪恶个根源。

Bhavavisuddhinimittam, bahiragamthassa kirae cao.

Bahiracao vihalo, abbhamtaragamthajuttassa. (361)

Renunciation of external possessions is the cause of mental purity.
Renunciation of external possessions is futile if it is not combined with
internal resolve of non-attachment. (361)

精神个纯洁源于同外界财物个脱离，但如果内心仲有爱恋个话，咁同外界财物个脱
离係冇意义嘅。

Parinamammi asuddhe, gamthe mumcei bahire ya jai.

bahiragamthaccao, bhavavihunassa kim kunai? (362)

If a monk who is of impure mentality renounces all external possessions, what
can such renunciation do to one who is devoid of appropriate mental condition?
(362)

如果一个精神唔纯洁个僧侣同外界个财物脱离着关系，咁咧对一个精神唔纯洁个僧
侣来讲有乜嘢意义呢？

Dehadisamgarahio, manakasaehim sayalaparicatto.

Appa appammi rao, sa bhavalimgi have sahu. (363)

One, who is unattached to his body, is entirely free from passions like pride
etc. and possessed of a soul which is engrossed in itself, is a real monk.
(363)
